Yes -- in this specific case, where you're changing the userid and groupid,
the Courier RPMs must also be rebuilt. You will also need to do a clean
install. Do not do a straightforward upgrade. Remove the old packages, and
manually clean up all the leftovers -- you'll still have leftover changed
configuration files in the etc directory, and stuff in the mail spool
directory. Since the userid/groupid has changed you will need to remove
everything, and do a clean install.
